Ephesus Pure in Heart

Ephesus Pure in Heart is the fact-based account of the evangelical efforts of John and Mary Magdalene in Ephesus and Anatolia from AD 49 to AD 65. All their efforts were constantly being challenged by the lecherous emperor Claudius, the treacherous emperor Nero, murderous deputy consul Celer, the dogmatic Jewish community, Greek idolatry, and Roman immorality. In spite of grave resistance, significant progress was achieved in social programs and religious practice. Ultimately, Ephesus became an important center in the early Ecclesia. Their story of teamwork is memorable, and their commitment, in the face of persecution and even death, remains inspiring.
